摘要:

我们已经获得了四个附近的,微弱的,非常低质量的物体2 MASSJ 04351455 -1414468,SDSSJ 044337.61 +000205.1,2 MASSJ 06085283 -2753583和2 MASSJ 06524851 -5741376的高对比度图像(在2 MASS 0435 -14,SDSS 0443 +00,2 MASS 0608 -27和2 MASS 0652 -57之后),在野外被鉴定为可能孤立的年轻棕矮星。我们的目标是寻找双星伴星,直到行星质量区域。我们使用了NAOS-CONICA自适应光学仪器(NACO)及其独特的近红外波前传感能力,以获取Ks中四个系统的清晰图像,视场为28”*28”。获得了2 MASS 0652 -57在第二个时期的额外J和L'成像和随访观察结果。在一个典型的对比度DK = 4.0-7.0等,我们的观测是敏感的行星质量制度,考虑到这些系统的最小年龄为10至1.2亿年。在2 MASS 0435 -14、SDSS 0443 +00和2 MASS 0608 -27的环境中,在0.1-12”(即20 pc时约2 - 250 AU)之间未检测到额外的点源。2 MASS 0652 -57解析为\sim 230 mas二进制。后续观测排除了背景污染,解决了对的轨道运动,并以高置信度确认系统是物理绑定的。J、Ks和L'测光结果表明,这是一个质量比q为\sim 0.7-0.8的双星,半长轴可能为5-6天文单位。在这四个系统中,2 MASS 0652 -57在年龄确定方面的限制可能较小。需要进一步分析以证实其年轻性。然后,确定其轨道和物理特性,以得出系统的动力学质量,并测试进化模型的预测,这将是有趣的。

英文摘要:

We have obtained high contrast images of four nearby, faint, and very low mass objects 2MASSJ04351455-1414468, SDSSJ044337.61+000205.1, 2MASSJ06085283-2753583 and 2MASSJ06524851-5741376 (here after 2MASS0435-14, SDSS0443+00, 2MASS0608-27 and 2MASS0652-57), identified in the field as probable isolated young brown dwarfs. Our goal was to search for binary companions down to the planetary mass regime. We used the NAOS-CONICA adaptive optics instrument (NACO) and its unique capability to sense the wavefront in the near-infrared to acquire sharp images of the four systems in Ks, with a field of view of 28"*28". Additional J and L' imaging and follow-up observations at a second epoch were obtained for 2MASS0652-57. With a typical contrast DKs= 4.0-7.0 mag, our observations are sensitive down to the planetary mass regime considering a minimum age of 10 to 120 Myr for these systems. No additional point sources are detected in the environment of 2MASS0435-14, SDSS0443+00 and 2MASS0608-27 between 0.1-12" (i.e about 2 to 250 AU at 20 pc). 2MASS0652-57 is resolved as a \sim230 mas binary. Follow-up observations reject a background contaminate, resolve the orbital motion of the pair, and confirm with high confidence that the system is physically bound. The J, Ks and L' photometry suggest a q\sim0.7-0.8 mass ratio binary with a probable semi-major axis of 5-6 AU. Among the four systems, 2MASS0652-57 is probably the less constrained in terms of age determination. Further analysis would be necessary to confirm its youth. It would then be interesting to determine its orbital and physical properties to derive the system's dynamical mass and to test evolutionary model predictions.
